I have hundreds, if not thousands, of letters in my office from people who have been disadvantaged under this program.

Indiana has received permission to put together a plan that is much more consumer-oriented.

There are two sides to this story.

I did not come down to speak on this particular bill. I am back for week No. 4 of waste of the week. In recent weeks, I have highlighted what I describe as excess spending of taxpayer dollars. We have talked about double dipping in…

I do not assess that the--either the Congress or the Executive Branch have exercised the will to make the tough decisions to go forward on the crushing statistics relative to unchecked entitlement growth.

we know there has been some short-term progress here and the CBO projects that short-term progress will last another year or two

I thank the Chair. But even leaving that shocking capitulation aside, we can never expect that the Iranians would negotiate under those conditions. We can now focus on the key fatal flaw of this agreement. It has been simmering for months…

I rise to discuss what many believe is the most dangerous threat to our national security, and that is a nuclear Iran. Over the past few weeks, there have been a lot of discussions about the Obama administration's ongoing negotiations with…

last month I came to the floor to launch what I call the ``Waste of the Week.'' We look at how we spend the taxpayers' dollars. We all know the biggest issue over the past several years is now sort of fading into the ether is the fact that…

Thanks to the leadership of our Governor Mike Pence and Commissioner Alley, our Department of Revenue developed a plan that stopped $88 million in attempted identity theft in the last filing season.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Wasteful Spending

last week I came to the floor to launch what I have called Waste of the Week. I will put my prop up here. Waste of the Week is designed to provide awareness in simple ways to our colleagues here, how we can look at government spending that…

it is my understanding that we are in morning business with permission to speak for up to 10 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct. ____________________

when I reran for the Senate in 2010, there were two major issues that dominated the campaign and that continue to dominate the discussion and debate in the Senate postelection. One was the Affordable Care Act, now called ObamaCare, which…

I agree with Dr. Boskin's point that we need to, in tandem, address the runaway entitlement spending along with comprehensive tax reform.

I rise today to address what I call an issue of public responsibility. More specifically, I rise to address the responsibility of both the legislative and the executive branches to deal with our Nation's out of control deficit spending…

I also ask unanimous consent to exceed--I know morning business expires in 3 or 4 minutes. I doubt I will be speaking for more than 10 minutes, but for extra time in morning business, I ask unanimous consent. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Toomey). Without objection, it is so ordered. Department of Homeland Security Funding

later this month, on February 27, funding for the Department of Homeland Security will run out. I think we all agree this is a critical time for our country's national security, and it is important that we fully fund Department of Homeland…

each time I have taken to the floor to comment on the Ukrainian crisis which I have done often the situation in that hard pressed country is worse. Today we see renewed and even more violent Russian aggression ripping off more ragged bites…

If I could ask the Senator from Virginia to yield for a response without yielding the floor, and I will yield right back to him. I wish to say that the perception of the public is that this is a partisan issue. It is not. The Democratic…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate be in a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Indiana…

I wish to make some remarks about the President's budget, which was presented to us on Monday of this week as his annual proposal to Congress. Given our country's enormous fiscal challenges and the results of the 2014 midterm election, I…

this health care proposal enacted in 2010 has been one of the most impactful pieces of legislation ever enacted by this Congress.

it would be irresponsible for the administration not to have a plan to address that, should the decision not come down the way you would like.
